The federal government will commence the withdrawal of the military from internal operations in the first quarter of the new year, the Chief of Naval Staff, Rear Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas, disclosed in Abuja Monday.
Specifically, Ibas explained that the meeting resolved that military operations would be called off from trouble spots where threats to security had been largely contained, explaining that the Nigeria Police which have the responsibility of handling internal security affairs will henceforth take charge of operations in such places.
“It also observed that in the maritime environment, a lot has been done to ensure that our resources are protected. The outcomes of the operations there have seen to the arrest of about six vessels that were involved in stealing of the nation’s maritime resources. He further explained that the military were only drafted to such areas to ensure stability, pointing out that since such stability had been restored, it was only normal for the police and members of the civil defence corps to take over.
“Basically, most of the internal security that we are having as you all are aware, is supposed to be the responsibility of the civil authority, the police in particular. Howbeit, so long as Nigeria is not engaged in war outside, it means whatever internal crisis that we have, the responsibility rests with the police.
